About this map

Ellsworth serves as the regional hub in this 2009 survey, situated at the confluence of several local drainages and the Smoky Hill River. The map details the grid of the city, including its northern expansion toward the Ellsworth Municipal Airport and the transition from urban streets like Es Main St to the sprawling county road system. Just to the east, the neighboring town of Kanopolis is visible, linked by the river valley and a network of arterial routes such as State Hwy 111.

The landscape is defined by its watercourses, which carve subtle paths through the terrain. From Oak Creek and Spring Creek in the north to the meandering paths of Mud Creek, Ash Creek, and Skunk Creek in the south, the map illustrates how these natural features influence the placement of cemeteries like Memorial Cemetery and Kanopolis Cemetery. This record is particularly useful for observing the contemporary infrastructure and the relationship between these two historic prairie settlements.
